NITON XLt 898He, Portable, nondestructive light element analysis
The NITON XLt 898He is the first
truly nondestructive portable
analysis tool for light element
content in alloy material. The XLt
898He provides fast, laboratoryquality
chemical analysis of
aluminum and titanium alloys,
as well as nickels, superalloys,
stainless steels and more.
The Niton XLt 898He provides many distinct advantages over traditional OES analysis:
The Niton XLt 898He provides many distinct advantages over traditional OES analysis:
- » Very easy to use, even by nontechnical personnel
- » Little to no sample preparation is necessary
- » A truly nondestructive test with instantaneous results
- » Powerful NDT data management software suite
Light Element Analysis with the XLt 898He
The NITON XLt 898He system takes the analytical capabilities of portable XRF to a new level. In previous cases, where inspectors were forced to turn away from the convenience of portable XRF and to Optical Emission Spectroscopic (OES) instrumentation for light element analysis, the XLt 898He system fills the void. Best of all, the non-destructive nature of the XRF technique allows testing of finished or sensitive parts without concern.
When activated, the XLt 898He system fills the interior of the XLt’s unique measurement head with pure Helium, purging atmospheric air from the x-ray analysis path, and allowing light element x-rays to contact the XLt’s high-resolution x-ray detector. As a result, XLt operators can confidently measure alloy content previously impossible with a handheld, portable analyser.
The XLt 898He can directly quantify Si and Mg levels in Aluminum alloys, Si in steels, Al in Nickel alloys, and a host of other chemical analyses previously unattainable using portable XRF technology. The XLt 898He provides immediate alloy identification from its comprehensive, user-editable grade library, while the advanced Fundamental Parameters based chemistry algorithm presents lab-quality compositional data within seconds.
